We are here in Twin Falls, Idaho, after a trip through the unscenic part of Wyoming—I80.  The wind was so strong that at one rest stop, I felt blown into the restroom.  Doug saw a sign that said winds were clocked at 64 mph!  There is one town along the way called Sinclair.  It is apparently the place where Sinclair oil started.  A big refinery is still there.  There are no more Sinclair stations in Texas, but there are here in this area. 

When we crossed over into Utah, the scenery changed. There were rocky pinnacles and bluffs and then a view of snow-covered mountains close to Salt Lake City.  Near Brigham City, we went off the highway to the Golden Spike Historical Monument. This was where the two sections of rail met, making the railroad go all the way across the country.  Needless to say, the golden spike is no longer there. (No, it wasn’t stolen. They took it out right away.)

When we drove into Twin Falls, boy were we in for a surprise.  When you take the exit to the town, you drive 3 miles south. Then you begin to see in front of you canyon walls.  The city is on the other side of the Snake River Canyon, a very deep canyon. As we stopped at a view point before going over the bridge, we were in for another surprise. Down in the canyon beside the river was a golf course! Immediately we knew that we had to experience that course.
